It's time to put some constitutional limits on Presidential power. The power of pardon should be limited by an exclusion against pardoning any member of the president's own administration and for any act ordered by (or conceived to be ordered by the president and/or his lieutenants and/or cabinet).
Executive privilege should be clearly and tightly defined and delimited.
The Vice Presidency should be clearly stated as a part of the Executive Branch and ordered to be transparent in all its dealings.
The papers of presidents and administrations should be defined as the property of the People of the United States and cannot be edited, limited, removed, redacted or otherwise changed or hidden by the administration.
Let's really make this a government of laws and not of men.
